Human Factors in Accident and Incident Investigations
Book Course
28 January 2025
- 29 January 2025
Introduction
Accident and incident investigations should consider why human
failures occurred. Finding the underlying causes is key to reducing
the risk of similar adverse events and lessons learned provide
insights to effective improvements.
This training course will give participants knowledge and
practical support for investigating human factors issues, helping
them to find ways of achieving effective change within their own
organisational context.
Delegates will learn from experts that have been involved in
accident and incident investigations across a wide range of sectors
and situations.
Learning outcomes
Delegates will be provided with information
that will help them to develop, consolidate or reaffirm
current competence in the field of investigating Human Factors by
exploring:
- The process of investigating human factors aspects of
incidents/accidents/adverse events
- Knowledge and experience of investigation tools and techniques
to capture, analyse and communicate the human factors causes of
accidents
- Knowledge of how humans can cause failures in systems, and
systems can lead to human failures, which lead to adverse
events
- Human factors principles to learn
lessons and identify effective interventions
- The sharing of knowledge and experience between delegates and
course presenters
What the course will cover
Recently revised to reflect the latest approaches and
techniques, the course will cover the theory and practice of
methods which support the effective investigation of human factors
issues, along with essential knowledge to help to understand why
things go wrong with people and systems. The course will also look
at how to use lessons learned to apply effective change.
